A review by hartd
Bienvenue à Rattlesnake by Kim Fielding
5.0
This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in a romance novel. The characters were interesting and flawed, the romance was slow and sweet, the conflict was believable, and the resolution was solid.
It's a similar plot to [b:The Downs|25698091|The Downs|Kim Fielding|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433921144s/25698091.jpg|45529426], although the characters, setting, and genre are very different. But I found the central conflict in The Downs a little difficult to relate to, while Jimmy's problem was easy to understand. The writing really pulled me right into his emotions. I definitely felt for him, all through the story.
This book has no supernatural elements, unlike a lot of Kim Fielding's books, but the setting is a little bit unreal to me. Maybe it's just because I've never been to any former Old West towns, although I would like to visit one someday. I always kind of raise my eyebrows slightly at non-homophobic small towns in fiction, but this novel actually addressed that issue in a realistic way, several times.
Overall, this book is great, and I recommend it highly.
